I want enough scratch to go on a 30 city road trip to see my Canucks one year. It would be pricey but I will do that before I die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair warning: bring carry on bags only so the idiot staff won't lose your luggage then not care about it one bit. Air Canada sucks. I'd rather fly Delta.

I didn't mention it but China Eastern Airlines can get you there a little cheaper than Air Can. But then you'd really be taking your life in your hands.

I much prefer the calmness of a beach, to the anxiety attack of a billion people haha. Maybe back in my drinking days I'd be able to handle it? These days I like to take it easy. Heading for a nice little weekend getaway with the lady to Whistler this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 guess it is a decent idea for us to go there,but me I would not go there to see a game and I for one do not like that we are going but if people here like it well then was a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for replying, I was hoping my comment would encourage people to ask me about Beijing so to encourage them to go if they were considering it...Awesome place! I agree with your vacation choices as well, big trips or small trips - we earned them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kessnasty Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'm currently living in Hong Kong and just booked flights and trains to Shanghai and Beijing (trying to go to both games). I'm having a hell of a time buying tickets on the damai site - is there any trick to it? Or can tickets be purchased elsewhere? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 if NHL goes back to Olympics in Beijing, i will go. Went to the 2010 gold medal game, was a memory of a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the pix of the charter plane the players are flying on? talk about luxury. http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canucks-roster-china-2017 i just hope the boys put on a good show, and don't get injured. The fun part of this season is seeing which young player can take it to the next step. The vets are keeping them respectable, hopefully not #29 again.

Yeah, Jai there's a lotta reasons to be strongly interested to see the kinda team they throw together. Concerned we might even lose a guy(or 2 ) to waivers...

There's a reason for them being cheaper. You will have to bring your own edible food, toilet paper and buy life insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Canuck coaching staff by chance meet a before unheard of undrafted 19 yr old Chinese hockey player practising by himself in The World Ice Arena in Hangzhou when they were off doing a few touristy things. The Chinese 19 yr old turns out to be a phenom and Canuck management quickly signs him to one way Canuck Contract. He becomes a 5 time NHL fifty goal scorer. OK - i can dream right ?
